Located in Opa-locka, FL. One of the most enduring drive-ins in South Florida history, the Turnpike Drive-In opened in 1958 as a single screen. It had a change of owners around 1980 and was twinned. It may have been closed for a while and finally closed on October 1, 1987 with Whoopi Goldberg in “Burgler”, Darren Robinson in “Disorderlies”, William Petersen in “Manhunter” & Kevin Dobson in “Sweet Revenge”.

This apparently closed as a Twin, sometimes showing regular films on one screen and porn on the other.
My Dad Richard Gaine was the projectionist 1969 to 1970. He was killed in a auto accident on his way to work…
Rcgaine, was the screening that night cancelled after you dad got killed in the auto accident?
Closed on October 1, 1987 with “Burglar”, “Disorderlies”, “Manhunter” and “Sweet Revenge”.
